Cyanide

Cyanide binds to an enzyme, cytochrome oxidase, preventing it from transferring electrons to the final acceptor molecule in aerobic cellular repiration. a) What is the final acceptor molecule? b) Where in the cell would cynanide ...

Thanks for this post, im having to write a paper about this. Thanks A Lot!!

... reactions of photosynthesis. Anyway, I have no clue as to where in the electron transport chain DCPIP would fit in, but considering that you say cyanide increases the rate of DCPIP reduction (and since i know that cyanide blocks complex IV - cytochrome c oxidase) I would guess SCPIP sits between ...

... are really confusing me; Which of the electron transport chain complexes donates electrons to DCPIP and which complex accepts electrons? Why would cyanide increase the rate of DCPIP reduction? Lastly how would i estimate the redox potential of DCPIP, what information would i need to do so? Any ...

... final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain? a)a molecule of carbon dioxide b) a molecule of water c)an oxygen atom d) ATP e)ADP 3. Cyanide differs from dinitrophenol because cynide a) is highly toxic to human cells and dinitrophenol is nonetoxic b)is an electron transport blocker ...
